Overall
Compiles 83 total yards in loss
Irving rushed 17 times for 77 yards and brought in both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
Irving once again comfortably outpaced backfield mate Rachaad White, who logged just three total touches (one carry, two receptions). The rookie put together a solid performance that included his seventh tally of over 70 rushing yards in the last nine games. However, Irving was stuffed for a two-yard loss on a third-and-1 play at the Commanders' 12-yard line with 5:32 remaining, forcing the Buccaneers to settle for a field goal instead of extending the drive and possibly scoring a go-ahead touchdown. Irving's productive day came in the wake of a standout rookie season that exceeded expectations, during which he recorded 207 carries for 1,122 yards and eight touchdowns while adding a 47-392 receiving line on 52 targets across 17 games. Irving also turned the ball over just once (two fumbles total) and should head into his second season with a firm grasp on the No. 1 back role.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irving is a skilled player, both as a runner and receiver, and he was highly productive at both Minnesota and Oregon. The question of his NFL viability is less certain, as Irving tumbled to the fourth round of the 2024 Draft after posting disappointing numbers at the combine. Fellow former Pac-12 back Myles Gaskin could be a cautionary tale -- Gaskin was an exceptionally productive four-year player at Washington, yet in the NFL a lack of power and speed has caught up to him. Following a 4.55-second 40 time at 192 pounds, Irving heads to the NFL with some of the same concerns. He's unlikely to challenge incumbent starter Rachaad White in any meaningful way, but Irving could earn a change-of-pace role in an offense that otherwise lacks backfield talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-10 spot on year-end rookie list
Gennaro Filice of NFL.com considers Irving the ninth-most impactful rookie of 2024.
ANALYSIS
The Buccaneers' star rookie is prepping for his first career postseason game Sunday against the Commanders, and he'll head into that contest having taken clear control of Tampa Bay's backfield. That was far from the expectation to start the season, given the presence of veteran Rachaad White in the backfield. However, Irving impressed from Week 1 and finished the season with 1,122 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns to go with 47 catches for 392 yards.
